*** This bug has been split off bug 146102 *** ------- Original comment by Mark J. Cox (Security Response Team) on 2005.01.25 08:07 ------- The moxa char driver is missing a CAP_SYS_RAWIO check which could allow a local user the ability to do things like replace the firmware. This is already fixed in 2.4-bk and in 2.6.10-ac7 from Alan Cox (although it's ommitted from 2.6.10-ac10). Patch available: http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.4/cset@41e2c5fb3htiRRycYu5I4skGWXcv5g
A fix for this has been committed to the RHEL2.1 source tree for inclusion in the next security errata.
An advisory has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of ERRATA.
